Bean crop is of great economic interest, being among the most used grain legumes in human nutrition. Also, it can use like organic crop, with great ecological plasticity, cultivated from the plains to high altitudes, also being a good precursor for other crops, leaving the soil rich in nitrogen. Therefore, we must give priority to the phenotypic characterization of local bean germplasm to provide breeders with valuable genetic sources, useful in creating of productive advanced cultivars, resistant to adverse environmental factors, to ensure food security. The objective of this study was to evaluate variability of morpho-physiological and agronomic traits of some common bean landraces (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), well adapted to pedoclimatic conditions from different regions sites of the country, conditioned by the genetic factors of the species. These populations could be used in prebreeding programs to improve some morpho-physiological characteristics very useful for future new creations. We must give priority to the phenotypic characterization of local bean germplasm to provide breeders with valuable genetic sources, useful in creating of productive advanced cultivars, to ensure food security.
